PowerPoint 2003

Are you embedding the object into the slide or merely linking to it?

you should email the audio files too
worked for me

Need more information please. I have been through the help files with Office & on the M/S website, but cannot find "how to embed" I make the slide show then use the "insert" function to insert the audio file. I save this as a slideshow file and then email it but the audio does not go with it. what am I missing?

Point value changed by question poster.

What is the source of your audio?

I've run into this same problem myself and the only way that I have found to fix it, is to make sure the audio file is also moved to the receiving computer. I have had to transfer the slideshow and the audio files separately to make them work. And then sometimes there is a bit of tweaking to make sure the audio and visuals are in sync.

I have tried creating a new slide show but it just does not save the audio file with it , it just keeps linking it with the slide show, therefore does not go with when i send it on.

For those taht dont kow but want to know , I have found the answer.
Unless the audio is in .wav format it wont work, you have to convert your audio file to .wav then insert the audio as you would normally. I used "Aurora Media Workshop" to convert the audio file, you can download a shareware version from www.tucows.com

Thanks to those that tried to help me out.
